Delivery scope to Germany increased by 17%, to record 45,3 billion cubic meters, gas delivery to France for almost 37%, Italy for more than12% and by 10% in Britain.

Increase in gas export was due to tensions in relations between Moscow and EU for Ukrainian crisis which is why official Brussels imposed sanctions on Russia and Kremlin responded through embargo for food products, French agency communicates.
